Fake Cop Nabbed With Naughty Badge

Fake Cop Nabbed With Naughty Badge

MAY 14--Meet John Lookebill. The 52-year-old Florida man was arrested late yesterday for impersonating a police officer after he attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a female motorist in Hobe Sound. Unfortunately for Lookebill--pictured at right in his booking photo--the woman was a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy who quickly realized that he was a fraud. Lookebill, of course, ended up in cuffs, with the real fuzz seizing his Smith & Wesson pistol, ammo, and a flashing light mounted on his 2001 Chevy Suburban. Oh, yeah, they also confiscated a gold badge, a photo of which you'll find below. This nitwit Lookebill apparently fashioned himself some kind of undercover operative. (1 page)
